MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 1990 Peugeot 205 (H253 DKX) between September 2006 and August 2021.

The record contains 14 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 17 August 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (13 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Windscreen (6 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Suspension (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 24 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”; “Rear Shock absorbers has negligible damping effect both (5.3.2 (d))”; “Offside Rear Service brake effort inadequate at a wheel (1.2.1 (a) (i))”.
